2016 Map of Rayland

About this map

The Pease River carves a winding path across the northern reaches of this West Texas landscape, where the borders of Hardeman, Foard, and Wilbarger Counties converge. This agricultural region is defined by a dense grid of rural corridors and ranch roads, punctuated by the small settlement of Rayland and the community of Lockett to the east. Along the river valley, features like Antelope Springs indicate the vital role of water in this semi-arid terrain. The inclusion of Lehman Airport and a vast network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 1207 and FM 2073, reflects the modern infrastructure supporting the area's sprawling ranchlands and farm fields. Geographers and local historians can trace the transition from the braided riverbed in the north to the upland drainage of Paradise Cr in the south, following the historic paths of Old River Rd through the plains.
